Marta: Plymouth tutor
Certified Tutor
I am a college graduate from Georgetown University. I have a large range of teaching experience from very young to adult. I have tutored students one-on-one and worked as an ESL Instructor at a college. I LOVE teaching! I am considered to have a caring approach and I try to make sure that learning takes place in a relaxed but studious situation.
On my free time, I enjoy listening to music, dancing, exercising, and helping others.

What is your teaching philosophy?
All students can learn! There are no excuses and no dumb questions.
What might you do in a typical first session with a student?
I would start by reviewing the basics of the subject we are studying to make sure I understand the student's strengths and weaknesses, and their learning method. Then, I would proceed to addressing each of the student's concerns.
How can you help a student become an independent learner?
By encouraging students to set their own learning goals and track their progress. Additionally, by providing formative feedback.
How would you help a student stay motivated?
By continuously reminding them of their improvement and challenging them to do better. Also, by trying different learning methods.
If a student has difficulty learning a skill or concept, what would you do?
Research different ways of learning that concept so I can approach it from different angles. Also, incorporate different tasks as part of our session, such as: games, individual and group activities.
